I'll keep this brief as I really need to get back to playing this amazing game.
The game basically replicated driving your cars round a track by cleverly utilising multiple die to represent your gearbox (die 1 to 6) and random elements such as damage, weather (yes weather!) etc.
It appears a complicated idea but it's actually very simple. You move up and down the gears but if you're in too high a gear coming into a sharp corner (they're graded depending how sharp they are) you can damage your tyres, spin, or even worse; crash out and end the game. 1st gear is a dice with only 1 & 2 on it - so you can only move 2 squares at max. Once you're up to dice 6 you move between 21 and 30! so as you can image - when the minimum you'll move is 21 spaces it's pretty nerve wracking to throw the higher dice and see if you'll make the corner.
That gives the strategy of being a slower but safer driver or going hell-for-leather and keeping your fingers crossed.
All in all it's a great game but also a quite amazing testament to how clever some people are to even think an idea like this up! And make it work!

The game is good fun if you want to spend a couple of hours with your friends/family, without having to put your brain in deep thought analytical processes. Just decide your gear, roll the dice and move your car forward. The components are of great quality, but unfortunately my copy was missing one F1 car. I wonder if anyone else had car(s) missing...

Good Game ,rules not too difficult. Haven't moved onto the more complicated board yet but the basic is fun. The cars are small and a bit fiddly. A good family game for older children.
